The Spiritual Evolution of Margarito Bautista
Margarito Bautista was born in 1878 in Atlautla, Mexico, a small farming community tucked into the folds of the Popocatépetl volcano in the state of Mexico.

Elisa Eastwood Pulido provides no occupation for his mother, whom she describes as “pure Nahua” (…

It left 40,000 seamstresses without work and laid bare their working conditions. Women worked 10 hours or more a day, earn…
Revolutionary Women in Postrevolutionary Mexico
With stunning detail and attention to its significance, Jocelyn Olcott unearths the rich worlds of women’s activism in postrevolutionary Mexico and develops her thesis on the construction of citizenship. Weaving together the works of theorists such as Sheldon Wolin, Joshua Foa Dienstag, Seyla Benhabib, Antonio Gramsci, Ernesto Laclau, Chantal Mouffe, and Judith Butler, Olcott takes citizenship not as a juridical structure of exclusions and obliga…
